Finalists for CafePress store slogans
First of all, this is gonna be one heck of a hectic three days for me. Tomorrow night at 7:00 is my book signing/panel discussion/Q&A free-for-all at the Cary, NC, Barnes & Noble. I'll be there along with Mark Van Name, James Maxey, and David Drake. It'll be a SciFi/Fantasy extravaganza! Please join us if you can.
On Wednesday, I hope to post photos from the book signing. Wednesday night, Derek & I'll will be packing for what we've determined is our first real vacation in at least three years. We'll be leaving on Thursday morning for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Derek's arranged for an 80-minute couple's massage and a 2-hour horseback ride on the beach -- not on the same day. ; ) There is no Internet access where we're going, so I'll be on "radio silence" from Thursday morning until Sunday evening.
Thursday is my blog's second birthday, and yes, there will be another adorable cake just like last year. I'll post a photo before I leave to go out of town.
We're back on Sunday evening, and I hope to post some photos on Monday morning from our trip, but it may be later in the week. On Monday, my writing break is officially over and I start writing synopses for the next couple of Raine books to get another contract.
Today, I'm posting some of the finalists for the CafePress t-shirt slogan contest. There were so many good ones that I'm posting more than I'd anticipated. Each slogan will have a number, and I'd like for you all to respond to this blog to tell me which ones you really like. I don't want to stock new t-shirts in the store that no one wants to buy. I think I'll probably go with black t-shirts this time, and put my website address beneath each slogan in small print so that when people see you parading around at DragonCon or your local bookstore wearing one of these t-shirts, they'll know where that fabulous shirt (that they desperately want) originated. ; )
A graphic designer from the advertising agency where I work will be doing the design work. She's fabulous!
Here are the contestants in no particular order. Please include the number(s) in your votes. Vote for as many as you like. Thank you for your help!
1. My fangs aren't for decorative use only.
2. That's not silence, it's reloading.
3. I'm not a pirate. I'm a seafaring businessman.
4. No, I don't feel manipulated by evil forces. Why do you ask?
5. My heroine isn't the only one who kicks ass.
6. Goblins [gob-lin] - (noun) Wicked sexy bad boys you don't take home to meet your parents.
7. Diplomacy [di-ploh-muh-see] - noun. Putting cannon shot across someone's bow rather than through their waterline.
8. Whoever said ignorance is bliss must have died a horrible death with a really surprised look on his face.
9. I have an eye for the finer things in life -- like hot elves and sexy goblins.
10. My preferred method of theft involves a ship, 40 cannons, and an overenthusiastic crew.
11. Sarcasm may not help, but it won't hurt.
12. I squashed demons, vaporized demons, and got in a catfight with the Queen of Demons. How was your day?
13. I stormed the Gates of Hell and all I got was this t-shirt.
Try to have yourselves a great Monday!

Wow, what a busy lady! And those slogans are awesome! I love them all! But I think I'll vote for number 8! That one is hilarious!
I'll vote for 2, 4, 11 and 13. Especially 13 and 4. Evil forces *grin* Could you print a demon on the back of number 4 ?
i'll vote for 9 and 13.
3, 11, and 13
Thank you, ladies! Your opinions are a great help!
You need the R&R after this week :)
3 & 7 get my vote (love my pirates...)
I love all the slogans, but the ones I especially love for T-shirts (and I think I'd better start making room in my shirts drawer) are 3,4,10,and 13.
You've got a busy week! I hope the couples massage comes after the two-hour ride. :)
It's so hard to pick! I'll go with 8 and 11 though :)
I like 3,4, and 8
I love 3, 5, 7, and 11. Wow! I am just a prime number babe today, LOL
Number 3 for sure.... and 7 and 8. And 12 and 13. :D
Thank you, everyone -- keep those votes coming!
2, 8, 11 and 13! The last one made me crack up.
Lisa- Quick question. How much time does it take you to write a synopsis? A week? A month? How much time should we writers spend on them? I know they are important...but how important are they really?
I like 2, 3, 7, & 8.
Tine
Victoria, it depends on how detailed your synop needs to be. My goal is to write the synops for 2-3 books in a month. But that might be pushing it; we'll see. ; )
2,3,4,7,8,10,11,13 are the ones that I would consider wearing. Especially 2,8,10,11. They're all funny, though!
Becki
Number 4 is priceless. I vote for that one.
I think the horseback riding trumps the massage in my book. I love horses. Sounds like a fun vacation. Hope the both of you have fun!
Oh wow. Uh, let's see, I want to list them all so I'll just pick my top 5 favourites...7 and then, in no particular order, 3, 4, 8, 9 and 10 and 11 and 13....okay, that's not top 5 anymore, sorry.
The list of finalists is narrowing down nicely -- keep those votes coming.
I like 2,3,7,10 and 12
Cris
Hard call- I'm afraid I can only narrow it down to 2,3,4,7,8,10,13.
I can see why you're calling for a vote.
Yeah, it's a tough decision.
Three, four, and ten. (What can I say? I like pirates._
I like 6 and 12 :)
#8!
#2 is still my great favorite.
But I'd like to add numbers 5,
11, 13, & 12.
I like 12, 9, and 4. I always look at shirts with the thought that I might run into a student, since I teach in the community in which I live, and the slogan can't be too risque!
Thank you, everyone!
